Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/readline: propagate CONF_OPTS to host build
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 03:16:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719031547.3512747-1-rlf42@posteo.net> (raw)
--with-shared-termcap-library is only applied to the target readline
because CONF_OPTS is not inherited by the host variant. The resulting
host libreadline.so.8 has no DT_NEEDED on ncurses/tinfo, leaving
termcap symbols (UP, BC, tgetent, ...) unresolved.
With recent binutils (--no-copy-dt-needed-entries), any process
loading this libreadline via LD_LIBRARY_PATH fails at startup. This
breaks fakeroot-based rootfs generation when host-gdb (which pulls
host-readline) is selected:
/bin/sh: symbol lookup error: .../host/lib/libreadline.so.8:
undefined symbol: UP
Reproduced on Arch Linux (gcc 16.1.1, binutils 2.46.1).
